If life gives you pain, you should drink it and ask for more?

Pain is there to be learned from. Learn from it if you can. Resolve it if you can. If you cannot resolve it, you must accept it and try to enjoy your life around the symptoms.

If I cannot eventually do any of the above, then I will ctb.

Well to make lemonade, you can't just expect to do that purely with lemons. First you need a method for squeezing lemons. Then you need a receptacle for collecting the juice. Many people don't like pulp or seeds in their lemonade so you're also going to have to obtain some kind of sieve or other method of filtering that junk out. Once you've got all that taken care of, you're going to need at least one glass, cup, or mug to pour your resulting lemon juice into but many would say that alone doesn't count as lemonade. Better have some sugar on hand to add into your cup but oh no! What if you have type 2 diabetes or something like that? Hope you've got some artificial sweetener on hand otherwise your lemonade is going to taste more like a lemonasty. Oh and last but not least, you'll need to procure some ice cubes because surely you're going to want your lemonade to be nice and cold and not lukewarm or god forbid, warm?

Got all of that? Congratulations! You've just spent all that time and effort and money. Let's hope nothing stops you from taking your lovely sip: you could trip and accidentally spill your drink entirely. A bee could sense your delicious elixir and decide to take a dive into it because it just needs a break from its long day. Maybe you end up actually hating the taste of lemonade. Some people think it just tastes like dishwater.

It's true. Lemonade cured my depression. Lemonade reverses the aging process. I made my first million selling lemonade at a school fete... Now, I've developed a severe citrus allergy and life continues to give me lemons.

But seriously- sure- if you can still win with the shitty hand of cards life has dealt you- go ahead and try. Why not? If you've got the inclination to. If we haven't though, why are we still trying? Because it will be worth it in the end? Will it though? Does Lemonade cure depression or reverse the aging process? The adversisers have missed a trick if it does. Can you sustain yourself selling homemade lemonade forever? Doubtful. Can you develop a citrus allergy? Yes. Really depends on whether you want to make lemonade doesn't it? Or, whether you're being told to.

they say that pain is given so that we understand something in this life, yes, perhaps an episode of pain can clarify something in our minds, but if this pain is endless, if all the methods have already been tried and do not work, then ctb is the remaining way out

ngl i just laugh whenever i come across this. cause mate, even if you wanna make a DECENT lemonade out of that, you need sugar or sweeteners and let me tell ya, there's nothing sweet in being fed lemons. and when you lack that, it's gonna taste sour anyway. so what's the point?

I don't want lemonade. I don't want anything in life to begin with and I never did. I always wanted to be permanently non existence once I knew what permanent non existence meant. I can't relate to those who enjoy life or want things in life that isn't death

"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" - Cave Johnson (Portal 2)

If life gives you lemons, slaughter your way across feudal Japan until all of your rivals are dead.

…or that seems to be the message of this documentary I'm watching.
